AG opinion: Unclear if WAC board subject to FOIA

Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel’s office gave no final answer in an opinion on whether the Walton Arts Center's governing body is subject to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.
"I am unable … to definitely opine on your question," the opinion stated. "In my opinion, this will depend upon whether there is sufficient alignment with government, or so-called 'intertwining' of functions so as to trigger the FOIA."
State Sen. Uvalde Lindsey, a Fayetteville Democrat, requested the opinion Aug. 14 on behalf of Walton Arts Center officials.
